I have tried to change the lock screen on the S3, and it doesnt seem to want to change from the original one.
anyone knows what im doing wrong? or is this a bug?
i go to lock screen options, wallpapers/ choose one, crop/change size,/ save and then on the lock screen i get still the same original one.
apparently it looks like the ripple effect is only available on the original lock screen wallpaper and you cannot have it in any other wallpaper, not even the ones included in the phone.
That's wrong.
I changed the wallpaper for the lockscreen and the ripple effect and the image is working. I now have my personal image and the ripple effect.
The ripple effect is not working for the "tilt/move-unlock" (no idea how it's called in english) as far as I have tested.
What do you mean by you want to change the lock screen? If you want to change the lock screen type, then go to settings - security- screen lock. There you can change it to PIN, Pattern etc. Also there are options to turn ripple effect on or off.
Btw. I have a problem with my galaxy s3 too: the original music player does not appear on the lock screen for me when playing songs, meaning I cannot pause, skip songs from lock screen. Do you have the same problem?
Thanks for that. I don't understand what i am doing wrong...

I'm talking about the wall paper of the lock screen

No the picture I used was on the extsdcard.
Have you tried changing the wallpaper and the lockscreen picture at the same time?
There is an extra option for that.
Does that change anything?
I can change the homescreen but not the lock screen. Lock screen can only change with a live wallpaper

Emailed Samsung about this.
When i try to use a photo all it does is create a copy of the photo in the dcim folder

I did a hard reset this morning and everything works now. Probably some installation glitch

That's great, maybe I should do too. Can you check if the stock music player control shows up in lockscreen during playback?
i havent tried that yet, as i dont use the phone for music a lot, but ill give it a go

Tried the music player. It doesn't show on the lockscreen either. I'm not sure if it is supposed to though. Anyone else can clarify?

To set the ripple effect or change lock screen settings
Settings / security / lock screen options
I was aware of that. It was for some reason not allowing me to get my own screen up. A hard reset fixed it and i found out from Samsung that there is no option to keep the music player on the lock screen

I use WidgetLocker which is great. But occasionally the Samsung default lock screen pops up anyway, meaning I have to unlock WidgetLocker AND the Samsung Lock Screen to get into my S2.
How can I disable the Samsung Lock Screen? I've had a hunt through the apps in Titanium Backup to see if I can find it and freeze it but no luck.
Anyone know how to do this?
There is an option in Widget Locker to Disable the Stock lock screen.
Tried WL today, and now back with stock lock screen. Simplicity is better for me.

Hey,
i have a evo 3d and even before i rooted it and put a custom rom on it, i wanted to remove that weather lock screen that always comes up when you power your phone on. The one that has phone mail camera messages icons and the Current weather, and you then have to drag a circle to the middle. That is the screen i want to remove or disable.
How can i do this with a rooted or stock phone?
I have seen the no lock app and the ScreenMode App which DO remove the Lock screen im talking about, but they ALSO REMOVE the security Pin / Pattern Lock screen also (which i want to retain.)
As it is now, i have to go through 2 lock screen when i power up my phone- The Weather Lock screen i speak of above and want to remove/disable - and the 2nd lock screen is my Pin/Pattern Lock screen which i can enable or disable via Settings->Security->Device Lock.
Please help me remove the weather lock screen,
tks
Widgetlocker is your answer
there's a couple ROMs in the dev section that have removed it, and are using the aosp lockscreen, go check them out.
Just go to setting personalize lock screen and change it to whatever you want no root needed

You have 2 options. You can go into system/data and rename HTCLockscreen.apk to HTCLocksreen.bak (rather than deleting it, in case you ever want it back). Or you could use Titanium Backup to uninstall HTCLockscreen
Widget Locker now gives me its locker screen, which is then followed by my Pattern lock screen (which i need, i only want the pattern lock screen).
If i go to Settings->Personalize (nothing happens, as in i get no options to choose), it just brings me back to the home screen.
I have Titanium Backup Pro and removed HtcLockScreen.apk and it removed it sucesfuly, but now the default Google Lock screen (with the lock on one side, speaker on the other) and you slide the lock to the right to unlock it.
Is there a way to keep WidgetLocker running, but set it to NO lock screen. Normally you would just un-check "Enable Widget Locker" in WidgetLocker's settings but doing this makes the home weather lock screen reappear.
or is there a way to disable the Google lock screen and keep the Pattern Security lock screen (this is how i had it on my EVO 4g)
Thanks for the help guys!

Hold your finger on the weather widget for about 10 seconds (untill the *trash* pops up at the bottom) and drag the sucker into the trash.
Took me all of the first day I owned this phone to kill that POS.
To remove the default HTC Lock screen?
Eitherway i dont have a Weather Widget on my home screen, nor can i add one (dont have weather or news listed under my widgets when i try to add)
tks for the reply
Hi, I've got a strange problem that for the life of me I can't figure out!
I've changed my Desktop wallpaper, and Lockscreen wallpaper but for some strange reason when I unlock my phone (the wallpaper is correct at the initial unlock screen) when I slick to unlock, I am shown the screen to enter my pattern, I am shown my old wallpaper!? Once the device is unlocked, the desktop has the correct new one?!
Where is this held?! I've tried every combo I can think of to change it, but no luck!
I'm using Halo Launch, and Widget Locker if that makes any difference. I've tried disabling both of these and using the defaults but the pattern screen still shows the old wallpaper!?
Hi guys, sry for asking you, but I really can't find a solution for this problem anywhere on the internet.
I'm currently on miui 9.5 (rooted) and the problem is, I really can't find a way to disable the music controls on the lock screen (screenshot in attachment)
The only way I found is to change theme of my lock screen, but the default one is perfectly fine for me and I really want to keep it...
So the question is, is there a way to block or hide these annoying ugly music controls on the lock screen? Or, is there any theme with exactly same lockscreen as the default one, but with these controls disabled?
Thank you so much for any help.
Hey folks,
So I was wondering why there are no media controls on my Honor 10's lock screen when music is playing (usually via Spotify).
It's not really cool to unlock the phone, swipe down, open spotify and press next when all you want to do is skip a song.
Do these controls show up on your lockscreen?
Did I maybe disable them without noticing?
Thanks for your answers in advance!

I do have them there, try disabling having to show your face to show notifications on lockscreen in face unlock settings, was a culprit for me before.

Hey thanks for your suggestion, I've now disabled face unlock, gave Spotify every possible permission (like ignore "do not disturb" mode, draw on lockscreen etc). But still nothing shows up on my lockscreen when music is playing from Spotify.
I even logged off from Spotify and on again like some people suggested in another forum. Didn't change anything.
However I noticed the stock music app makes fullscreen controls appear on the lockscreen (but I won't use that app).
Any further suggestions?

Actually yeah, one more suggestion. If you changed your lockscreen theme to anything other than the default one, change it back to default. For some reason notifications and everything that's supposed to be on the lockscreen is banned in custom themes. No clue what's wrong if it isn't this.

Thanks for this suggestion, too.
I already thought this might be a problem and changed it beforehand.
So now after I made all these changes:
Lockscreen design to default
Disabling Face Unlock
Enabling the rights for Spotify to send Lockscreen messages
Enabling all possible rights for Spotify basically
A notification for currently playing Spotify tracks shows up quite randomly.
I assume it needs some time to show up. It doesn't show immediately after I play music and lock the phone.
If turn on the screen like 3 minutes later, it's there sometimes.
Now it would be awesome if it showed up in fullscreen mode on the lockscreen (like the huawei music player does) and show up immediately.
Thanks for your help so far, feel free to post further suggestions if you come up with something.
